Artist Talk: Sharon Louden

We are thrilled to have artist, author and activist Sharon Louden back in the gallery for her solo show PERENNIALS. The exhibition will include new and archival work that examines the intricate studio processes Louden has developed over her distinguished career, and highlight the serial nature of her recurring forms and gestures.

Intertwining her painting rhetoric with her advocacy, Louden leads an emboldened art practice in the hopes of demystifying life as a creative. Ventures such as her Living and Sustaining a Creative Life series of books including Essays by 40 Working Artists, The Artist as Culture Producer, and her upcoming release Last Artist Standing work toward paving a precedent for navigating a lifelong career in the arts.
